Restaurants

Yamo! A tiny place, maybe six or eight seats at the counter, that's it. Almost as many Burmese grandmothers working behind the counter. Some of the food is great. My favorite: #10, Mango Chicken, $5.25 (and maybe a coconut for $2.50).

Whiz! On South Van Ness and 18th, good burgers and fries.

Minako (Organic Japanese) is across the street on Mission street. Vegan friendly.

Weird Fish is almost directly below 2169 on the corner of 18th and Mission Street. Vegan friendly.

Bookstores

A few doors away on Mission, on 16th between Mission and Valencia, and on Valencia between 16th and 17th.
